katapi HOME He Who is Not against Us is for Us - Mk.9.38-41  Lk.9.48-50       | NEB Books | notes
Mark: 9
38John said to him, 'Master, we saw a man driving out devils in your name, and as he was not one of us, we tried to stop him.' 39Jesus said, 'Do not stop him; no one who does a work of divine power in my name will be able in the same breath to speak evil of me. 40For he who is not against us is on our side. 41I tell you this: if anyone gives you a cup of water to drink because you are followers of the Messiah, that man assuredly will not go unrewarded.
Luke: 9
48and said, 'Whoever receives this child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me receives the One who sent me. For the least among you all-he is the greatest.'
49'Master,' said John, 'we saw a man casting out devils in your name, but as he is not one of us we so tried to stop him.' 50Jesus said to him, 'Do not stop him, for he who is not against you is on your side.'

Notes: The most generally known harmonies of the Gospels are based upon the Huck-Lietzmann Synopsis (1936) of the three gospels and Sparks' Synopsis (1964) of four gospels. Many of the passages in these harmonies are too short to display in a useful manner on a web-page.
The katapi New Study Bible Synopsis of the Gospels is based upon the headings displayed in the New Study Bible reference table which in turn follows the headings printed in the United Bible Societies' New Testament in Greek. These sections are more useful for bible study. Columns are arranged so that the first column is your chosen heading from the bible passage list (highlighted). The harmonies that follow across the web-page are then in the normally accepted order.
For Old Testament references quoted by New Testament authors, you should either go back to the passage listing web-page and select the link on the 'version' column; or click on the column heading and search through the chapter for the relevant passage; than select the OT passage from the reference column.
